  • "Edtv" is a comedy released in 1999, directed by Ron Howard, starring Matthew McConaughey and Jenna Elfman.
    The film tells the story of NWBC Broadcasting Company’s largest cable TV channel, True TV, facing the danger of declining ratings in the past two years, so the program supervisor Cynthia came up with an idea to open a channel shared by the public. Choose an ordinary person and show his life process naked in front of the audience 24 hours a day, without any falsification, no editing and rehearsal, and of course the story does not develop as expected.

      We have been watching you

      If one day you find that no matter when and where, there will be a lens like a shadow, no matter you are eating, working, sleeping, or even going to the bathroom, there will be people watching on TV. You have become the focus of the public, and people all over the world are paying attention to your life. In deeds, you have lost the most basic privacy, but you have become a star, the money you have gained, the love, what will happen to you at that time, is it distress, joy or anger? In the movie...

      Solving the reversal is very clear and justified

      Recently I watched an "old" movie from 1997 called "Ed Private Channel". It was about the TV station that created a reality show in order to increase the ratings. The creator of this idea-TV station producer Yu Ai Starring Lun, wow. The protagonist of the reality show is an ordinary audio-visual store clerk she picked out of a million, starring Matthew McConaughey (when he was young, he simply felt broken). This reminds me of the Kardashian family's reality show, which has been 12 years +...

      There is nothing wrong with you.

      Ed's private channel (the first half hour is embarrassing for honey). Generally speaking, a fairly acceptable popcorn movie, but the attraction of the whole show is only the loss of the attention of passers-by in the show. The director has done too much. It sucks. (Because I didn't feel how interesting the show was, especially the part of the president, which was too absurd.) Men can't say no, and they can't be said no. Women want to be pursued. (But it is necessary to distinguish whether...

      A TV show that satisfies the audience's lust

      The story is good, but the screenwriter is too routine and lacks the excavation of human nature. The result is an out-and-out TV soap opera. But it is worth mentioning that the title of the film is very high. ED is male erectile dysfunction. "ED TV" is undoubtedly a mockery of today's television entertainment programs. At the end of the film, the director of the TV station who was exposed has an embarrassing and embarrassing expression, which echoes the show or talent show just for...

      Edtv

      An unknown person suddenly becomes a star. Someone screams when walking on the street. Before you have time to enjoy the feeling of being a star, your life and the people around you have changed. It is your loved one and your own that are injured. Family members, when they want to recover, find that they can’t stop the car, because some people need to continue to use their own and their family’s privacy. So I also played a high-level game. Fortunately, everyone finally got back to the original...

    Movie plot

    The clerk Ed (Matthew McConaughey played by Matthew McConaughey) who works in the video tape shop is an ordinary 30-year-old man who can no longer be ordinary. He can't even imagine that one day, he will become a household name. TV personality. It turned out that Cynthia (Ellen DeGeneres, Ellen DeGeneres), the TV station’s program director, had a career in Waterloo. The sluggish ratings put her job under a huge threat. At this...

      Cynthia: Oh, and which word would that be? Asshole? Shithead?

    • Panel member: A joyous celebration of boobery, that's what it is.
